PREVIEW — Weirdest Episode Ever: The Cosby Show Explores Male Pregnancy
Added 2022-12-05 19:42:58 +0000 UTCThis is a preview of the first installment of Weirdest Episode Ever, about "The Day the Spores Landed," the male pregnancy episode of The Cosby Show. Yes, talking about Bill Cosby and the assault allegations sucks, but if we truly are exploring the weird side of sitcom history, we had to talk about this, which was weird enough when it first aired and has only been rendered weirder by the passage of time.
This is a preview, so it's just the first half, and if you're seeing it in your feed, it means you subscribe to our Patreon at the $1 or $3 level. While Cartoons That Made Us Gay is staying at the $1 level, this new bonus podcast is only available at the $5 level and higher, so we thought we'd post this as an enticement to up your support. This podcast is a business, in the end, but we are working really hard to give everyone supporting us at these higher levels as much bang for their buck as we possibly can.
New WEEs will go live every Monday, with a slight break for the holidays. Here is the schedule moving forward.
- The Cosby Show, "The Day the Spores Landed" (a.k.a. the male pregnancy episode)

You're not the only one who said basically that. Maybe this was too weird to air in the afternoon?
